Yeah, I just finish watching Ouran High School Host Club (æ¡?è?­é«?æ ¡ã??ã?¹ã??é?¨ Å?ran Kōkō Hosuto Kurabu) anime, it has manga origins. Artist Bisco Hatori (è??é³¥ã??ã?¹ã?³) has her first hit in this. It’s not a bad anime. Quite funny but the ending is somewhat expected I guess. I shan’t spoil it for you guys though.

Ouran High School Host Club is about the gathering of a bunch of super rich kids studying in Ouran High School which is an exclusive school for wealthy families. The main characters are from prestigious families, think along the lines of F4 just that they don’t really hang out, act cool and be gay enough to all like one same girl. In Ouran High School Host Club (hereafter refered to just ‘Ouran’), the super rich kids are hosts for women. They entertain their fantasies of perfect romance. There is no ero-ero in it. The host club was doing great until someone came in and knock over their 1 million yen vase.

No, Ouran is not about the vase; Ouran is about the person who broke the vase - Fujioka Haruhi. The vase smashed onto the ground and Haruhi has to work to pay of the debt. Haruhi, a commoner, begins serving women.

The twist? Haruhi is not a guy. She just has short hair. Her petite looks and beautiful skin is an attraction to many school girls. She dresses up as a man and the Host Club gang taught her how to be a host. And Haruhi, who enjoys instant coffee and street shopping, help the Host Club guys learn more about themselves.

Ouran has 26 episodes, not awfully long. The pace is just right and it’s quite enjoyable to watch. Ouran gets 4 stars out of 5 for having a dynamic set of characters, good story and pace. Minus half for the fact that the girl-mistook-as-guy thing - well, it’s done over and over again. Minus another half for the Host Club guys being too rich.
